Six of the Tillerman Cycle I had read.
This last, a Christmas present two years back,
I had skimmed, and found indifferent,
And put on the shelf of “someday, maybe” books.
But vacation is not a good time for pretentious reading,
So I grabbed this book and found myself
So entirely engrossed, I hardly wanted to pull away
And interact with my beloved family.
The luminous title
The beauty of the writing
The hunt for the deadbeat dad
The subtle and pervasive character development
Except, there was nothing he could do.
Except, of course, there was.
You can make a choice to change.
Restoration is possible.
